Southern Indiana Craft Beer Showcase at Indiefest, September 22.

Here's the first call for the Southern Indiana Craft Beer Showcase, which is what I'm calling NABC's contribution to New Albany's inaugural Indiefest on Saturday, September 22. Indiefest will feature local artists, food, exhibitors and music throughout the day.

It's also NABC's contribution to Louisville Craft Beer Week. The fundamental idea is to feature (mostly) Southern Indiana craft beers, as well as craft ciders, meads and wines.

It will be a "cash bar" event, with full pours and samples available. I've posted Indiefest information separately, accessible here.

BREWERIES
Big Woods Brewing Company (Nashville)
Cutters Brewing Company (Bloomington)
Great Crescent Brewery (Aurora)
New Albanian Brewing Company (New Albany)
Power House Brewing Company (Columbus IN)

CIDERIES
Thomas Family Winery (Madison; perhaps wines, too)

MEADERIES
New Day Meadery (Indianapolis; ciders, too)

WHOLESALERS
Starlight Distributing (featuring English ciders)

WINERIES
Grateful Goat (Palmyra)
River City Winery (New Albany)

Also, I am hoping to arrange a reservation-only bourbon tasting with Crossroad Vintners. If this happens, it will be held at Bank Street Brewhouse at the north patio/seating area. As always, stay tuned.
